Problems solved by technology
In the case of the self-playing, the golf manager cannot grasp the crowded degree of a course and a delay in playing until a player returns to a clubhouse from the start tee.
The problem is that personnel expenses increase.
For that reason, it has been difficult to the entire operation information on the same screen.
Moreover, in an operation of displaying the operation information of a golf course, it is difficult to display the operation information for nine holes including the No. 1 to No. 9 holes on the same screen.
That is, in the operation status monitoring operation, the selective manipulation of the scroll bars 73, 73, 79 and 79 or the tags 80a, 80b and 80c impairs the immediacy thus resulting in poor usability.
This problem causes the golf ground administrator to involve in the operation management much time, thus delaying other work.
However, the problem is that a special installation place is required to enlarge the display device.

Embodiment Construction
An embodiment of a golf cart location display device according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the attached drawings.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram partially showing the layout near the start points of golf courses employing the golf cart location display devices according to the present embodiment. For convenience, FIG. 1 shows SAKURA (cherry in Japanese) course (OUT), SAKURA course (IN), and MATSU (pine in Japanese) course, each defined with chain lines, and further shows the vicinity of the start spot (TG) (Tee Ground) of each course. MATSU course (IN) (not shown, but to be described later) is displayed on the golf ground. Hence, the golf ground contains four golf courses.
As shown in FIG. 1, an administration or management office CH with a caddie master room is near the start points GT of the courses. This office CH has the operation management section and a display device. The management section controls the operation state of a golf cart K (her...

A golf cart control and monitoring system on a golf course including a plurality of sensors arranged along a golf cart path at locations corresponding to at least a teeing ground, a fairway, and a putting green of each hole of the golf course in which each of the sensors includes a sensor ID transmitting apparatus. Each of a plurality of golf carts traveling on the golf cart path includes a golf cart ID transmitting apparatus configured to maintain communication between the sensors and the golf carts. Also included is a golf cart control station having a golf cart location device configured to determine locations of the golf carts traveling on the golf cart path. The golf cart location device includes a radio transmitter / receiver configured to receive information on the golf cart IDs and a current location of the golf carts in the golf course from the sensors and the golf carts. The location device also includes a signal processing unit configured to process information on the golf cart IDs and the current location of the golf carts and to provide a table including location information corresponding to the current location of each golf cart on the teeing ground, the fairway and the putting green of each hole of the entire gold course. The location information is displayed in a sequentially straight line or a bar graph. A display indicates a progress of the golf carts on the table as the golf carts travel around the golf course.
Description
1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates to a golf cart location display device that locates golf carts on a golf course.2. Discussion of the BackgroundRecently, there are golf courses where a player plays golf while he moves a golf cart by himself.In the case of the self-playing, the golf manager cannot grasp the crowded degree of a course and a delay in playing until a player returns to a clubhouse from the start tee. To avoid such situation, some golf courses have course guides posted every several holes to accelerate golf playing. The problem is that personnel expenses increase.For example, Japanese Laid-open patent publication TOKKAI-HEI No. 9-31855 or 10-28504, previously filed by the present applicant, discloses the system consisting of means mounted on a golf cart, for transmitting and receiving cart identification signals such as cart Ids; sensors placed along the golf course being a golf cart route (near to e.g. tee ground, fairway, green and the like); and a...
